Craig Drennen And The Hijacking of Bandwidth | Episode 32

February 18, 2018 By brainfuzzadmin 1 Comment

Artist Craig Drennen is joined by Joe and Matthew at an undisclosed location. In this conversation culled from hours of recording, the three explore Drennen’s work, his process, and professional journey. Along that path, the three delve into minutiae ranging from vaping to Thomas Paine’s funeral.

Drennen shares an encounter with Chuck Close at a pivotal point in his career. Joe unleashes multiple sports references. Matthew reveals that Drennen now occupies the Timon of Athens bandwidth in his mind.

The yoke of abstraction is cast off. A nickname is revealed, though the source remains masked.
